RFR(XS): 8001424: G1: Rename certain G1-specific flags

[Bengt Rutisson]

Hi John,

This looks good. But I think that instead of your change in 
arguments.cpp you could make use of the obsolete_jvm_flags list that 
exist in the same file. I think that is intended for exactly this 
purpose. Accepting a removed flag name for a little while. The nice 
thing about it it that you specify how long you will accept the old name.

static ObsoleteFlag obsolete_jvm_flags[] = {
   { "UseTrainGC",                    JDK_Version::jdk(5), 
JDK_Version::jdk(7) },

If you use this you also have to remove the old flag names from globals.hpp.

Bengt
